Actually, Tasmanian beer is great so I don't pick on them... Cascade Premium, mmmmm...

Yes...that's why god invented Vikings. So we can destroy Tasmania and steal their beer.

humanity killing of japs.

Funny how the saying of "jap" in our country will have the JACL (Japanese American Citizens League) and other asian PACs on your ass so quickly... I'm not offended, but it is technically considered a racial slur in our country..

yes...as you said 2 wrongs don't make a right. But doing what is right is not easy...and we are only human. As I said...put yourself in their shoes and see how hard the 'right' choice is.

This is why Japan has the big responsibility here...I hate to say it, but they need to truly open their hearts to those they have hurt. Not empty apologies...but acts of goodwill and compassion.

This is what public relations is for. They need to send people over to places liek Korea etc and actually be amongst the people they apologize to. Sincerety, compassion, love...showing these things will soothe hatred. You need to show people you are not the monsters of the past, that you have changed.

This is what the hatred is about. The fear and anger of what the past holds.

I agree what you said about what Japan should do.

However, the right choice is usually not an easy chioce, but doing wrong because it is hard to do something right is a lame excuse. I can just steal something because it's easier than finding a job.

What these korean children have been taught only cause hatred and maybe another war.

When someone raped your family members, you hate them, but to hate and teach your children to hate all their children and relative, that's stupid.

Being rapist son, doesn't automatically make one a rapist.

Far-Asia is very different from Southeast Asia.

Yeah, and Africa is different from Asia, Europe is different than Asia.

Each individual are different. There are good Japanese, there are good chinese, there are good american.

And there are bad ones too.

To hate someone you don't even know because of their nationality make you nothing more than a racist.

No different than KKK, no different than American african that hate white people, no different than nazi that hate jew, and NO DIFFERENT THAN JAPANESE THAT COMMIT A CRIME AGAINST YOUR NATION.

You're taking my words out of context. I was saying in the sentence how would Japanese feel if servicemen called it a service to humanity killing japs. I'm just using the language one would use in that context.

Like some KKK member would hardly be expected to say "African American".

Yes...they are being taught this because of anger and fear. The fear that Japan is capable of doing it all over again. None of them feel that Japan is sorry for what it did...and therefor, they feel that the past will repeat itself. They then teach their kids this because they fear their children will suffer the same.

meh? So (no offense) but if you say that some KKK member would hardly be expected to say african-american, then are you implying that you are part of some radical group? (say like the Neo-Nazis, Aryan Brotherhood, Anti-semists, etc?) Since you say the word "jap" so freely. Note that American servicemen used the "jap" term, in spite, to mean japanese imperial military personel but extended that to Japanese-Americans as well. Also there are WW2 veterans who still called it "service to humanity" to "kill the "japs" even in this time and age. Remember that the Japanese-Americans like my father(after the war), grandfather and my great grandfather had to go through the bs of being called a "jap" in this country (and internment for others) during WW2 even though they were loyal to the US out of total hate for our race. All i'm saying that it IS considered a racial slur along with "nip" in our country. If you don't mean it as a slur, fine. Just be careful what you say and in what context you say it.

Plus like what drizzt said in another post, the KKK was founded to hunt down "carpetbaggers" from the Civil War at first and at some point was relegated to hunting down persons of African descent because of radicals within the group.
